• Make your maps easier to use and presentation-worthy. MapPoint 2010 lets you control what appears on your map so that you can eliminate clutter and make your maps more visually appealing than ever before.

• Do you need to show only major city labels, county boundary lines, or highways or toll roads on your map? You can also individually turn on or off symbols or labels for:

  • Cities by population

  • Boundaries for country, state or province, county, postal code, or 3 digit postal code.

  • Transportation, including: highways, local roads, toll roads, and railroads.

  • Other geographic symbols, including: water features, parks and reserves, points of interest, and more.

  • Easily change the font size of labels on your maps for better viewing.

• Create customized default settings of the map view to match your personal settings and preferences. You can save your own custom map settings so that your settings are automatically applied to the map when you reopen it.

• More Pushpins – over 300 pushpins included to give you more control than ever before for how you map data. Manage pushpins – hide a sub-set of pushpins without deleting them if you only want to display the locations in a certain area. Show all of the pushpin information boxes or hide them all at once. Hide an entire dataset of pushpins from the map without deleting them. Refreshed Data - Use updated geographic data in MapPoint to display trends and illustrate key points on maps.



• Easy to Reroute - You can select the roads you prefer to travel, choose major areas to include (or avoid), and define routes based on your desired travel speeds. Drag and drop your route to go around a road or area.

• Routing Options - Create routes and send them directly to a GPS navigation device. Transfer it wirelessly using MSN Direct (MSN Direct enables devices only), or using a USB connection to a Garmin (Garmin Plugin required).

• Show in Bing™ Maps - Quickly find listings when online and add them to a route. Use descriptive words such as “coffee” and “restaurant” to find points near your location. Bing!

• GPX Import / Export - ability to import or export GPX files. GPX is a standard used by handheld GPS devices to store things like GPS tacks and place markers. If you have a GPS navigation device that can record .gpx information, you can easily share your trip route including where you went and where you stopped along the way. You can also share a planned trip by exporting data that others in your group can use on their own GPS navigation devic
